Just had 2 large bangs of thunder followed by hail then snow. Its been a day of all sorts of weather today.

Nasty cells developing near me. Wind now up to 60mph very quickly in south Wales.

Pretty wild at Porthcawl now. Check out the waves crashing over by the light house. Porthcawl Live Streaming Pier Cam | Porthcawl RNLI WWW.PORTHCAWL-LIFEBOAT.CO.UK Adjusted for British Summer Time when applicable around the UK and Ireland coast each year. Know what to do: #RespectTheWater at...

It is easily a gale out there now. Just taken the dogs out and its roaring through the trees with some pace.

Hmm that puts my area in one of the worst places. Thanks for posting the chart Nick.

Hi Nick do you have a snap shot of the map of the wind speeds in this update?

And check out those hurricane force winds in south west England. I don't fancy that turning up on my door step

Into 1049mb now at 0c. Speeding up the increase in pressure too. Most interesting weather obs of the winter.

We are at 1048mb here in South Wales currently. I have just noticed quite a few digital weather stations only go up to 1050mb. What happens if it goes over that?

We had a good storm in cowbridge vale of glamorgan with hail at around 7ish this morning. 1cm hail created a temporary thin covering over the ground. About 7 flashes and close bangs of thunder with gusty winds. Lasted about 30 mins. That was our brief white Christmas lol. Have a good one all

Come on then - Let's see the photos of this big snow event to those having the best of it. Show the world the glorious white carpet currently showering you in its stunning glory ❄

7cm was the final total measured here. Not bad at all. Spot on thetipster model ☺

Some more snow photos from just outside Cowbridge ☺. It is nice to see the cold and snow and makes a change to scrolling the hunt for cold mod thread everyday looking for signs

Taken about an hour ago

We have the same amount I think lol.

Currently just outside of cowbridge in my village. Getting pretty white

Snowing here in cowbridge now. Medium flakes blockquote widget

That will make up for lost time. Most of us in Wales are yet to see our first snowfall of the winter! Only the higher ground has been lucky so far

Maybe some heavy snow soon for Manchester area ❄❄?

Just saw this in the mod thread. Looks good for Thursday. Here's hoping ??

It might even snow in north Africa with that chart

Models this winter have been shocking and extremely poor for medium and long range predictions. I wouldn't believe anything beyond 48 hours at this current performance. I miss the days of Micheal fish, bill Giles, Ian McCaskill, john kettley etc on the BBC. I would love to know what Michael fish thoughts on the current modelling system with all of his years of experience with weather computer technology. Perhaps netweather can put this question to him. It would be interesting to get his view :-).

Ah well I saw my 1 flake of snow up in Merthyr at work yesterday. That's me done on model watching - jokes lol. Seriously though don't panic all. The models will keep changing so rapidly. No model is even sure for Tuesday where the snow is going to be. Changing all the time showing rain then snow then rain with each run changes it's outcome.. Who knows we might be all jolly in 3 days time onto something great. At least there is no raging Atlantic storms or floods that hit us in early winter atm . The garden isn't a sludge pit for once lol.

That's storm Emma depths again for South East Wales and for a good part of the uk lol. I really hope this happens again. The highways and utility weather briefs were very interesting today. The pros are sure watching this very very closely ??❄
